Extrapolating Maldives to all of South Asia (even south India) makes no sense. Look at table1 by arunkumar, wells et.al. To see what I mean.SBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08933957274426105976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-51275266305063089642013-03-24T01:09:59.773+02:002013-03-24T01:09:59.773+02:00Yes they came with Muslim settlers and , Spice Tra...Yes they came with Muslim settlers and , Spice Trades. Before Oil discovery Muslims are the vikings of those seas and also Arabs are the hired mercenaries for lot of Indian Kings. Their localities still today named Arab Colony etc. .

This was apparently a custom in the islands at the time (14th Century). <br />That could explain the presence of west asian paternal admixture, that is Arab traders being given local wives for the duration of their stay on the islands.hairysteve20http://www.blogger.com/profile/00311215424814847047noreply@blogger.com
